Actually I did, even made a post on the RSI forums, it was closed by their mods. In fact many people stopped and said it was wrong. Why do you think CR had to talk about all the feature creep and everything else.
So no there is no two sided blame, just CIG screwing up.
I did not see your thread in particular, though I do remember a particular group going out of their way to disrupt those threads with unreasonable behavior, for the same purpose you suggested previously - controlling the narrative. Their disruptive behavior resulted in threads being closed, affording room for these cries of censorship.
Sadly, the rules need to be enforced. If you want a word, you might want to get the more verbally violent of the detractors from derailing the discussions.
CiG are responsible for their unrealistic marketing, which may yet come back and bite them on the bum. But that's not any backers fault or problem.
Getting a realistic grip on expectations is probably a good idea seeing as what's going to be delivered (if at all) is increasingly looking like it won't tick many of the promised boxes.
This requires some honesty from CiG and maybe a realistic roadmap. Singling individual enthusiastic backers out for criticism is absolutely the wrong path to take.
I have no doubt CiG will take the wrong path.
In the world of building, no roadmap is realistic. Hell, road maps in general can give intentions, but rarely speak of the normally unseen obstacles along the way. If anyone honestly expected a long series of tasks that required considerably more time to correct mistakes to go perfectly to plan, then I've got some property at the bottom of the ocean to sell.
